Kurt Vonnegut, author of Slaughterhouse Five, The Sirens of Titan and Cat's Cradle, died Wednesday, April 11 at age 84.

I was never a huge fan of his work -- I read both Slaughterhouse Five and The Sirens of Titan in college, but found them too disjointed to be really enjoyable. Reading Timequake in the '97 only confirmed that Vonnegut wasn't for me.
